Chapter 1681: Completion of small regional trade route network

At six o'clock in the morning on June 1, 1181, Xingyu, at the gate of Viscount Baixiyue's fortress, Yan Tielong said goodbye to more than a dozen nobles in this area. After all, with the help of Yan Tielong, all the refugees in the noble territories were eliminated.

Of course, Yan Tielong also gained a lot. Not only did he obtain a dozen nobles who secretly formed a trade network, but he also obtained three-tier grain from more than a dozen nobles, which also allowed him to feed 10,000 hidden armed forces and store a large amount of grain.

After Yan Tielong and the others left, they immediately headed to the next area, which was Kurulu City, which was currently suffering from serious floods. This city was the borrowing point where five major rivers converged to form a river.

This time, Kurulu City was flooded mainly because the amount of water in the Main Water River, Huayue River, and Black Water River was three times that of the previous year. In addition, some people made it impossible for the water to flow downstream, resulting in flooding.

After Kurulu City was flooded, the amount of water accumulated reached its limit, and the Tianlan Dam burst. As a result, all the water in Kurulu City rushed downstream, and as a result, all the downstream areas turned into a vast ocean. This also caused the Kurulu City to be flooded. The lower reaches of Lucheng suffered heavy losses, which was also the main reason for the refugees.

In fact, Viscount Bai Xiyue and the others also warned Yan Tielong not to go to Kululu City. After all, the lack of food there was very serious, which also led to very serious security problems, and it was easy to encounter security problems.

Faced with the reminder from Viscount Bai Xiyue and others, Yan Tielong naturally knew very well, but in order to meet the former Holy Horse's eldest prince of the En Kingdom, he had to pass through Kurulu City.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Yan Tielong and his caravan met up with the 10,000 newly trained armed forces of Mao Gelatu who had been waiting for a long time, and then continued to move towards Kurulu City.

During the walk, Mao Gelatu told Yan Tielong that the ancient town of Tula Rhinoceros City was occupied by refugee armed forces, which also triggered a larger scale of refugees. After all, the refugees who robbed the ancient town would not release the food at all. This was also As a result, there was no food to save Tula Rhinoceros City. The people in Tula Rhinoceros City and the surrounding disaster-stricken areas had to become new refugees in order to eat.

The number of refugees in Tula Rhinoceros City has increased significantly, which has also caused Kurulu City to be in danger. Once there is a problem in Kurulu City, it will spread to the north, and Yan Tielong's children will be affected. Viscount Xiyue and the others will also be attacked.

Of course, if the refugees are really allowed to attack the north of Saint-Martin, it will be a huge blow to the King of Saint-Martin. Therefore, the current King of Saint-Martin has sent an army of 300,000 to suppress and provide relief when the floods occur. After all, the floods in the south are not solved. If there is a problem, then there will be problems in the entire Kingdom of St. Mary's.

Hearing that the king of the Kingdom of St. Martin would take action to suppress and provide disaster relief to major flood-hit cities, Yan Tielong felt that the officials of the Kingdom of St. Madern were putting more pressure on him. After all, they belonged to foreign forces and it was easy to blame them, so Yan Tielong decided We must leave Kurulu City before the 300,000 troops arrive.

As Yan Tielong and his team accelerated, by around three o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Tielong and the others had already seen Feishui City, a satellite town of Kululu City. But now Yan Tielong encountered trouble. The trouble was that the refugee camp was blocking the road.

Faced with the refugee camp blocking the road, Yan Tielong did not want to conflict with the other party, but now to reach Kurulu City in the shortest time, he had to pass through Feishui City, so Yan Tielong began to negotiate with the leader of the refugee camp.

After negotiating with the refugee leader, the other party asked Yan Tielong to leave a day's rations for nearly 10,000 people, otherwise the passage would be impossible.

Faced with the other party's extortion, Yan Tielong wanted to teach the other party a lesson, but in the end he calmed down and agreed. However, he also asked the other party to ensure the safety of their team and a three-stage payment.

First, Yan Tielong will pay one-tenth of the grain for a day's ration for 10,000 people as a deposit. After walking seven-tenths of the distance, he will pay five-tenths of the grain. When they arrive one hundred meters away from Feishui City, they will pay the remaining The food below.

The refugee leader originally wanted all the food, but when he saw that the other party had an armed force of 10,000 people, he also knew who was more powerful and controlled the team now, and who was the boss. Once they snatched Yan Tielong and the others, their overall strength would inevitably be lost. At that time, they would become the targets of other refugees, so they agreed to Yan Tielong's proposal and kept moving out of the way, while also sending armed forces for protection.

About half an hour later, Yan Tielong asked the team member in charge of supplies to leave the toll and prepare to enter Feishui City.

The city gate of Feishui City was forced to open, but the guard guarding the city gate said that outsiders were not allowed to enter the city gate. They must be residents of the city or relatives of residents to enter the city!

Hearing the words of the Feishui City gate guard, Yan Tielong naturally understood what the other party meant, and he took out a small bag with about a dozen gold coins and gave it to the other party's captain.

The captain of the city gate guard accepted the bribe sent by Yan Tielong, which amounted to more than a dozen gold coins. He immediately smiled and said that he recognized Yan Tielong and the others as the caravan of the lord's friends, and let them go!

Hearing the city gate guards let them go, Yan Tielong complained in his heart that the lords of Feishui City were too lax in managing the city gates. If the number of refugees reached the limit, Feishui City would be easily captured by those refugees.

After entering Feishui City, Yan Tielong and the others began to look for a place to stay. After all, it was really not easy for them to find a place to stay for more than 10,000 people.

However, at this time, the lord of Feishui City learned that a caravan of ten thousand people had entered the city. He was very angry. After all, if that caravan was disguised as refugees and they cooperated with each other, then their Feishui City would be in great danger, so the city lord directly Ask people to replace all the officers guarding the city, and at the same time send people to keep an eye on the caravan. If there is any change in the caravan, they must do their best to capture it.

Yan Tielong and the others didn't know that Feishui City had sent hundreds of soldiers to target Yan Tielong and the others. At the same time, all three military camps were waiting. As long as the lord ordered, they would take action immediately.

After looking for many hotels, it turned out that those hotels could not accommodate ten thousand people. With no other choice, Yan Tielong went to the wealthy area and spent five thousand gold to buy five relatively large manors, and then he could barely accommodate ten thousand people.

Of course, most of the caravan members live in the open space of the manor. After all, the rooms in the five manors can only accommodate a thousand people at most, which is the limit, so most people can only sleep outside.

However, Yan Tielong and the others did not know that because he spent five thousand gold coins to buy five manors for the prodigal son, it reassured the lords of Feishui City. After all, it was impossible for refugees to spend five thousand gold coins to live in the manor for two or three days.

Then the knight responsible for investigating Yan Tielong and the others asked his lord something. This matter was that large caravans must pay tolls to the refugees in order to pass through the refugee camp. He believed that large caravans must have a lot of food and goods. He thought that the lord You should buy some food from large caravans to meet unexpected needs.

Faced with the reminder from the family knight, after some consideration, the Lord of Feishui City agreed to the family knight's proposal to allow the leader of the large caravan to attend the banquet he held tonight.

Faced with the lord's arrangement, the family knight bowed and went to meet the husband of Baron Danlifenami.

The reason why the family knights of the lord of Feishui City asked the lord to invite the caravan leader to attend the banquet is because his name is Baili Tusis. He is the half-brother of Viscount Baixiyue, and the reason why he can become The family knights of the Lord of Feishui City can also be said to have been exchanged by the previous generation Viscount Bai Xiyue at a great cost, so he must repay the family for protecting the business leaders who are beneficial to the family.

Soon Baili Tusis found Yan Tielong, and he told Yan Tielong that he was from Viscount Bai Xiyue, and pointed out that it was very dangerous for Yan Tielong to lead ten thousand people into the city, which almost caused a misunderstanding and caused the lord he was currently loyal to to launch a war. Thanks to him, there was no war, and then he took out the invitation from the lord of Feishui City and asked Yan Tielong to attend the dinner.

After listening to Baili Tusis' words, Yan Tielong realized that it was indeed a very bad decision to lead a caravan of ten thousand people into Feishui City at this time, so he gave the other party a string of pearl necklaces, and then asked the other party about the situation of Feishui City and the lords here. preferences and taboos.

Seeing a pearl necklace worth several thousand gold coins, Bailitus asked Yan Tielong all the questions he knew and even told Yan Tielong some things he couldn't tell.

Through Bailitus's account, Yan Tielong learned that there were originally 30,000 official armed soldiers in Feishui City. However, the local lord and the top military commander jointly embezzled official military expenditures. As a result, the number of 30,000 official armed soldiers dropped to 5,000. It was also the recent flood that caused the lord to They were afraid, so they recruited more than 20,000 refugees to supplement their numbers, and then the number of soldiers returned to nearly 40,000, but their combat power was about the same as that of the refugees.

Some time ago, there was a flood in Kurulu City, which also caused Feishui City to transport a large amount of food to Kurulu City. As a result, Feishui City also has food problems. This statement is just to deceive outsiders, but the real situation is that Feishui City does transport a large amount of food. Food, but there is still plenty of food hidden.

Yan Tielong was very happy to hear that Feishui City had enough food. After all, in the short term, his team's food would not be a problem, so he asked Bailitus to go back and tell the lord that he would attend the banquet on time.
